PM Modi Visit America: Prime Minister Narendra Modi may visit the US next month, where he will attend the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) meeting to be held in New York. During this, he is likely to meet US President Donald Trump, in which there is a plan to discuss trade related issues. Given the tension in India-US relations in recent times, the eyes of the world will be on this meeting.
Modi will hold high-level meetings with several global leaders
According to sources, PM Modi will hold high-level meetings with several global leaders during the UNGA summit to be held in September, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The conference will be held in the week starting September 23, when leaders from around the world start arriving in New York.
India has scheduled a 15-minute speech for Prime Minister Modi at the UNGA on the morning of September 26. At the same time, US President Donald Trump will deliver his address on September 23. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy told Modi on Monday after a phone conversation that both have agreed to meet face-to-face during the UNGA in September.
Modi invite Trump to attend QUAD summit to be held in India.
According to the information, Donald Trump wants Prime Minister Modi to meet him. For this reason, PM Modi may possibly visit New York with a dual purpose. According to the plan, if the conditions are favorable, he will personally invite Trump to attend the QUAD summit to be held in India. This conference is likely to be held in October.
PM Modi visited White House in Feb
If PM Modi and President Trump meet, it will be their second meeting in seven months. Earlier in February, PM Modi visited the White House. The personal relationship between the two leaders strengthened during Trump's first term, but in the second term these relations became strained due to the tariff dispute. Nevertheless, Trump has called Prime Minister Modi his "friend" many times.
The White House says that India's purchase of oil from Russia is supporting Russia in continuing the Ukraine war. For this reason, Trump is pressuring India to reduce oil imports from Russia, which will increase economic pressure on Russia. India rejected the criticism, hitting back, saying the US itself buys uranium, chemicals and fertilisers from Russia.
